Small Felt Pouches
First I wanted to let people know the discount code for lables is now up, it is at the bottom of the post. sew-on-labels
I am almost finished the sewing of the small felt pouches. I still have to add the hardware. You can click on any of the pictures to get a larger view.
These are finished except for the grommet and carabiner. I may add some flowers to the 3 without but I am not sure if I will have time.
These ones are done but now I am thinking maybe the pink and blue ones should maybe have somthing on the back.
I haven’t washed the stabiliser away on these. I thought I would use 2 small black seed beads for the cats eyes. and when I was taking the picture I noticed I hadn’t put the x for the fishes eye on the green one. I am not sure if the red one need somthing at the bottom front or not. I like the motif on the red one, the weaver and spinner were on a bronze age pot someone posted in the Evangelical Church of Distaff Spinning group on Facebook.
These last ones I like quite a bit. The bright colours on the black felt look particularly good to me. The bee and thistle pouch still needs its stabiliser washed away. The 3D flowers I think need something on the lower half but it’s tricky with the tail and I don’t know what to put.
The first few pouches I sewed on some snaps. For the others I ordered a plastic snap kit. The snaps come in lots of different colours so I should be able to match them pretty well.
I forgot to take a picture so here is the one form Amazon, where I bought it. I paid the shipping and I ordered it on Saterday and it was here on Tuesday. That is fast delivery.

The pouches are gorgeous and make such a fun group. My favourites are the countryside ones but they are all lovely. If you want to add something on the lower half of the 3D flower one, how about a bit more stem and a few more leaves?
Thanks Lyndsay, I really like those too. the sheep are the first ones I did. Leaves are what I was thinking too.
All the pouches are pretty Ann, but I too have a leaning towards your country scenes.
Thank you for showing us the snaps – they look handy to have on standby.
Thanks Lyn, I really like those too. I hadn’t seen the plastic snaps for sale before but a friend showed them to me.
First, i really like the pouches. They’re colorful & decorated in a fun way.
I have a question for you. Why do you use stabilizer ? What is it exactly? Does it dissolve or tear away?
Do you have a photo of the back of these little pouches after the cabinets are attached .
How did the snaps work out?
Thanks for your input.

Hi thanks, Lillian. The stabiliser dissolves in water. What I do is draw a pattern on the stabiliser and pin it to the pouch and then do the stitching. I didn’t want to draw right on the felt. I have a nice smooth wash away stabiliser. It is called pellon 541 wash-n-gone. I bought this a few years ago but they still make it. I bought it off a roll but I have seen it packaged as well.
I havn’t used the snap kit yet.
Wow, Ann, they are really nice! I agree about bright colours on black. I love the paisley ones, and the more abstract ones too. But I also love the chicken and the thistle! 🙂
Thanks Zed. I find it hard to pic a favourite.
These turned out great, good job Ann!
Thanks Ruth, now lets ho they sell. pricing is hard.
These are so pretty – but I cant work out where you put the caribiner. Please show us a pic of them when you have added
My plan is to do all that this week. I will take pictures as I go.
